The next chapter!

Praise God!!!

I finally got my matching results today! Got my first choice!!! I'll be heading to my dream uni-University of Melbourne early next year. I have this desire to persue my degree (whatever it is) in this uni since I was back in high school. But it never happened after A Levels cause I decided to take up medicine as my career path, and to go melbourne uni straight is a total killer for my family.

Even during the matching season, when I found out that the fees suddenly shot up to AUD53K, I was reluctant to rank it as my first choice. But felt that God says, "If I place you in that uni, I will provide the necessary financial amount needed to sustain me". Plus, my parents have been supporting me and asking me to put this uni as my top priority. Really grateful and thank God for such an amazing and loving parents that He has blessed me with.Today as the results is out, I can do nothing but rejoice and thank Him for bringing my dream come true... It doesn't end there. God has placed Chun Peng and Darren in melb too... Am happy to be there with ppl I am close with. God's amazing touch!

Ps117:2 For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD.

Thank you God for your unfailing love. Despite the times where I missed your standards, the times where I did not do what you commanded me to do, or even times when I disappointed you, yet you have proven to be faithful... For that is your nature!

2Tim2:13if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself.

I am excited to see what will happen when my journey in melb starts.. anticipating what great things God will bring through me in melb... Furthermore, chris christine steph and chuen will be in adelaide... few hours away from us in melb.. we can meet up during easter & winter, & have our lil reunion together in Down Under! But ultimately, let His will be done in melb!

Be an "Ananias" to someone!!!!

Acts9: 10In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision,"Ananias!" "Yes, Lord," he answered.
11The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight."
13"Lord," Ananias answered, "I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem. 14And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name."
15But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. 16I will show him how much he must suffer for my name."
17Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." 18Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, 19and after taking some food, he regained his strength.

This name was mentioned in the Bible for the first and the last time in Acts. That’s it! But what made this man so special that he is worth mentioning in the Bible? We all know that why people like John or Peter was constantly mentioned in the New Testament. They were Jesus’ disciples, or people like David because of Goliath or Bethsheba. But Ananias?

Back to the passage above, God spoke to Ananias and asked him to go to Paul (which was Saul then) and ministered unto him. Because Ananias is in faith and obey God’s command, you have the Paul that is strongly and widely mentioned in the Bible. You have various early churches establishment, more than half of your new testaments book written, thousands and thousands of lives changed. All through Paul’s ministry. But if it wasn’t for Ananias at first, would there still be such a great transformation in the early Christians evangelism movement? We don’t know, but one thing’s for sure, it is through one man, Ananias who obeyed what God commanded, you have our apostle Paul and through him, many lives turned to Jesus.

You see, you wouldn’t know who you are impacting. You wouldn’t know what this changed life will do to others. Or, how much can lives of other be changed through this person that you’ve been an “Ananias” to. You can make a difference. As God speaks to you or the Holy Spirit prompt you to act upon something, or even to share the gospel with our friends, you might not know what will happen to the lives you are impacting. But I do know that we gotta act if God asks us to. Don’t wait! Someone needs an “Ananias” like you!
